Making the first wipe last.
—It's done

Hard surface cleaning formulations need to address a broad range of surfaces and cleaning requirements. From glass and ceramics to metal and stone, the right combination of ingredients determines both cleaning performance and the lasting appearance of the treated surface. Clariant offers specialty ingredients for hard surface cleaning across consumer and professional applications. Our portfolio includes surface modification agents that provide protective and anti-soiling effects, mild surfactants suited to applications with frequent skin contact, rheology modifiers for the right product texture and flow, and bio-based options for formulators working toward lower-carbon formulations.

Aristocare™ Smart – Clever surface cleaning

Aristocare™ Smart makes the cleaning of hydrophilic surfaces like ceramics, glass, and stainless steel a lot smarter. By providing a protective film, the surface becomes smoother and the sticking of soil and water droplets is prevented. Consequently soils can easily be removed during the next cleaning. Water drains more quickly from the smoothed surface resulting in spotless drying without limescale build-up. Furthermore, Aristocare™ Smart supports homogeneous cleaner distribution leading to the regular reflection of light. This guarantees a more brilliant and streak-free surface, which stays cleaner for longer.

 

Rheology modifiers

Rheology is a central factor in the relationship between consumers and cleaning products. As one of the main sensorial attributes of a product, it is an essential cue in the consumer’s perception of quality and performance. Clariant offers the Hostagel™ range of rheology modifiers for Home Care applications, covering both polymeric and surfactant-based options.
